Chelsea Under-18s Aim for Victory Against Reading at Cobham
Chelsea’s youngsters have found their feet early in the season. A narrow defeat on the opening weekend stung, but the response has been sharp, confident and ruthless.
First came a statement in the league: a 4-1 win away at Birmingham City, a performance that carried both control and cutting edge. Then, in midweek, the momentum grew. The Blues opened their Under-18 Premier League Cup campaign with a tidy 2-0 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers, with Andrew Pennie and Heze Grimwade on target to underline the depth of attacking threat in this group.
Now comes the next test, and it arrives on home turf.
